Partitioning the interval [6,11] into n equally-spaced subintervals gives n rectangles of width \Delta x=\dfrac{11-6}n=\dfrac5n and of heights determined by the right endpoints of each subinterval.

If a=x_1=6, then x_2=6+\dfrac5n, x_3=6+2\dfrac5n, and so on, up to b=x_{n+1}=6+n\dfrac5n=11. Because we're using the right endpoints, the approximation will consider x_2,\ldots,x_{n+1}

The definite integral is then approximated by

\displaystyle\int_6^{11}(1-5x)\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=2}^{n+1}f(x_i)\Delta x=\sum_{i=2}^{n+1}\left(1-\left(6+(i-1)\dfrac5n\right)\dfrac5n

You have

\displaystyle\sum_{i=2}^{n+1}\left(1-5\left(6+(i-1)\dfrac5n\right)\dfrac5n=\sum_{i=2}^{n+1}\left(-29-\dfrac{25}n(i-1)\right)\dfrac5n
=\displaystyle-{145}n\sum_{i=2}^{n+1}1-\dfrac{125}{n^2}\sum_{i=2}^{n+1}(i-1)
=-145-\dfrac{125(n^2+n)}{2n^2}
=-\dfrac{145}2-\dfrac{125}{2n}

To check that this is correct, let's make sure the sum converges to the exact value of the definite integral. As n\to\infty, you have the sum converging to -\dfrac{145}2.

Meanwhile,

\int_6^{11}(1-5x)\,\mathrm dx=\left[x-\dfrac52x^2\right]_{x=6}^{x=11}=-\dfrac{415}2

so we're done.

What is the unit rate for 875.52 kilometers in 38.4 hours? Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box.
serious [3.7K]
We are given:
number of kilometers = 875.52 km
time = 38.4 hours

We need to calculate the unit rate, which means that we need to find the number of kilometers in one hour.
To do so, we will simply divide the total number of kilometers by the total time as follows:
unit rate = 875.52 / 38.4 = 22.8 km/hour
